basic amp question

[gs300tx 10+ year member]

Hey guys, if an amplifier is rated

RMS Power Output @ 1 Ohms : 1200 Watts x 1 Channel

and I have 2 4ohm DVC subs connected

does this mean its pushing 1200 watts PER SPEAKER? or 600?

Thanks

You'd wire each sub in parallel... and both of them parallel to each other (All the +'s are touching).

This is a 1 ohm load. The amp puts out 1200w, and it will send an equal amount to each coil...meaning 600w per sub.
